Mirrors for one piece windows? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

aitch · 10-13-2005, 02:13 PM

I'm installing Brothers one piece windows in my 69 GMC. I'm looking for mirrors that I can mount to the small triangular piece that fits in the corner where the wing window was.
Has anyone done this? What did you use? What will work?
Any ideas appreciated.

I looked and looked and couldn't find anything that would fit and look good. Ended up with Mazda Miata mirrors. A few other board members have done the same thing.

aitch · 10-13-2005, 04:09 PM

Mocwon, that is one beautiful truck. I like the Miata mirrors, that may be what I end up with if I can't find something that will fit. There is not much real estate to work with.
Are those 18's you are running?

76bonanza · 10-13-2005, 04:48 PM

How do you all like the one piece setup for a daily driver?

Inthuwind · 10-13-2005, 04:58 PM

take a look at what I posted-these are the sportage mirrors from Street Scene

Thanks.
They are 20's (275 X 45 tires). As a note, I believe these are from a '92 Miata. Not all years are the same but certain groups of years are the same.

The truck has not hit the road yet as a daily driver. Can't seem to find the time to get the exhaust installed, front end aligned and spray-in liner applied.

Now, those look great!!!! I wasn't able to find those when I was looking.

Inthuwind · 10-13-2005, 05:07 PM

these are in stylin concepts pages in magazines~~

Inthuwind · 10-13-2005, 05:08 PM

I plan on the same route with the LED signals on them

76bonanza · 10-13-2005, 06:20 PM

well how do you like the windows so far?

aitch · 10-13-2005, 07:00 PM

I checked Street Scene Sportage and did not find anything for our application.
Obviously, they are out there. I like the look but would like to see a full frontal.
I'm assuming that they are manual.

Inthuwind · 10-13-2005, 07:10 PM

they are not for our year--you have to get them for a 88-89 chevy full size truck--the angle is the same as the vent window--know what I mean? they do come in electric as well.

Oops, didn't mean to send that twice.
Sure would like to talk to someone who has installed the Street Scene mirrors to better understand how much modification is required.
If they match the angle of the "A" piller in both the vertical and horizontal planes that would be most of the battle. The pictures are a big help. I talked to Stylin Concepts yesterday and the guy I talked to was clueless. I'll try to talk to Street Scene today.

Inthuwind · 10-14-2005, 12:45 PM

Yeah--they are just salesmen-I have the number to Gabe who owns the orange stepside-gonna give him a call and see what he did. I'll let ya know as soon as I can.

72wascal · 10-14-2005, 01:14 PM

You guys have some beautiful rigs. Makes me a bit jealous. I have the one piece windows also and used a billet mirror mounted to the inside of the bracket. The are small rectangulars from Brothers but have a standard mirror mount and I can change the head to another if needed (round, square, oval etc.)

The stylin concept one looks good also. I used to have a set of oval ones from Vision but I gave them to my buddy for his Willy's coupe. They were kind of pricey though but looked good.

I think I have a picture to send if you want.

That's great. I did call Street Scene this morning and the sales guy only knew what he could see on the screen. No application for our trucks. If Gabe can add some information that would be wonderful.
Stylin Concepts has the 88-98 manual model for $100 a pair.
Thanks for your help!

Hawaii, if you have pictures, that would be good. Options are nice.

aitch · 10-16-2005, 01:39 PM

Anyone else have an idea on what might work or has adapted the Street Scene mirrors?

For a hundered bucks, order a set.... try them w/o destroying the packaging & if they don't work return them. Better yet, find a local source that stocks these particular brands & see if they'll let you test fit them. You're not actually going to install them, just rest them up against the truck window plate so it's not likely that you'll damage them.

Or.... they're only $100. Order them & if they don't work, put them up for sale on the 88-98 parts board.

Thanks, that's a good idea. Just hoping someone on the board had done this and could share the experience. I think that some modification is required or they would market them for 67-72 trucks.

I purchased the same mirrors from Aim Industries a while back for $39.99. Unfortunately they have gone up to $49.99 now. I know their shipping is higher than most, but it sure beats spending $100.00 for manual mirrors. Just my $.02 worth. Here's the link:
